WILTON -- Police say the driver of a Honda sedan was to blame for a three-car accident Thursday afternoon at the intersection of Northern Pines and Ballard roads.

The accident occurred at just before 3 p.m.

A state trooper at the scene said the Honda failed to yield the right of way when he pulled into the intersection heading northbound on Northern Pines Road in front of an eastbound GMC pickup truck.

The truck appeared to have tried to avoid the Honda but hit the front driver's side of the vehicle. The truck proceeded into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with a westbound Hyundai on Ballard Road.

The drivers of the GMC and the Hyundai were transported to Saratoga Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the Honda was airlifted to Albany Medical Center with serious injuries, but New York State Police and fire department personnel at the scene could not say how serious.

The intersection was closed for about an hour while Wilton Fire Department crews cleared the scene.
